I have never heard anyone so confused that they can't tell the difference between "animal that was never alive" and "made from vegetable products". This isn't confusing, and I will need evidence to believe that it is "widely used". I don't think I've ever even heard someone attempt to conflate the two before you.
But I acknowledge that just because this is completely obvious to me and I've never met someone who was confused about the difference doesn't mean they don't exist.
- ghaff 7y agoI honestly don't care what people call the different types of meat substitutes. Plant-based meat seems a bit odd to me because it's not, you know, meat. But it seems to be the term in use. Yes, I understand that there is a difference between grown from meat cells and made from plants with components that make it look and taste more like meat.
- ceejayoz 7y agoI haven't seen many offerings saying plant-based meat. I've seen plant-based burger, plant-based sausage, etc.
- ghaff 7y agoThere are only 579,000 results for that phrase from a Google search. https://www.google.com/search?q=%22plant-based+meat%22&oq=%22plant-based+meat%22&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.4452j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 https://www.google.com/search?q=%22plant-based+meat%22&oq=%2...
- ceejayoz 7y ago102,000 of those are "plant-based meat alternatives". 46,700 are for "plant-based meat substitutes". I'd imagine there are quite a few other synonyms that continue to winnow it down.
